The total Candy count for your Buddy Pokémon has been added to the buddy information screen.

The total kilometers a buddy has walked has been added to the information screen of each Pokémonthat hasever been your buddy.

Pokémon type icons have been added to the Gym battle approach and Gym battle screen.

Last weekend, a surprise feature with the “Nearby and Tracking” icons became available for the Trainers in the Philippines.

Now, at the Nearby screen, you can now view which among the nearbyPokéStops a particular Pokémon can be spotted. Previously this feature is only available in the US, but it seems they have activated it for the rest of the regions.
